ScanMind
What ScanMind is
ScanMind is an iPhone document scanner and organizer with on-device OCR. It captures multiple pages, selected photos, imported PDFs, or documents shared from another app, then recognizes English and Simplified Chinese text and extracts fields. Supported patterns include receipts, invoices, business cards, shipping records, food and nutrition labels, product specifications, regulated labels, and commercial records. Originals, recognized text, and extracted fields are stored in the app’s private container by default, while core scanning and recognition do not upload document content. Confirmed documents can be located by title, text, type, amount, project, tag, or smart view; full-text search and structured filters require Pro. The app supports multipage PDFs and watermark-free PDF export. Its free plan includes five automatic organization runs per calendar month. Pro features add unlimited organization, advanced search and filters, smart views, reports, projects, tags, batch import, and optional iCloud Drive sync. ScanMind is freemium on iOS, with a free plan and a listed paid option of $12.99, paid once.
